Parents of Preemies Day
March 23rd is the first Parents of Preemies Day, sponsored by the Graham's Foundation. The Graham's Foundation is a wonderful non profit organization started in 2009 by Nick and Jenn Hall in memory of their son Graham. Please visit them at http://www.grahamsfoundation.org/home.html to learn about the work they do and how they support parents of premature babies, especially micro preemies babies born 3 lbs and under.
On this day I support my daughter Lisa and son in law Brian the very proud parents of Reagan our micro preemie and Jamie (termie). I am so proud of you for your courage and strength I love you both!

In - Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?
New Years Day a day to ring out the old and bring in the new. It is now 2012 and we have closed the books on 2011. I usually don't give much thought to the past year on New Years Day. It is the day to start brand new it is resolution day be healthy, lose weight, and get organized etc..... but this year is different. In 2011 I hit the highest of highs and have felt the lowest of lows. I have cried more, laughed more, and have never prayed so much in my entire life!
There were some life lessons in 2011- I will never again take anything for granted and I have learned to let go of things that don't really matter. Let's not forget the old cliche you really are stronger than you think you are.
I have learned to be grateful-
I am thankful to God and the blessings he has bestowed on my family.
Last year I chose a quote that was to be my mantra for the year and posted it on my facebook page "Live the Life you Imagined" by Thoreau. Ha I can assure you I never in a million years imagined my life would be the life we lived through the past year that is for sure. That being said I am changing it to a quote that is much more appropriate. Going forward the quote posted on my facebook page will be "With God all Things are Possible" Matthew 19-26
I keep thinking of this song and all those minutes of 2011 that had such a profound impact on my life. I bid farewell to 2011 and welcome 2012.
I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Love,
Elaine

Little Miracles
Hi I have another layout of the girls to share with you tonight. The blended photo at the bottom is the result of very bad photography skills (Gina I need your help!) I love the way Reagan is looking at Jamie but the photo had a lot of noise and I could not edit it in photoshop to use on its own. I really wanted to use it in a layout so I decided to blend into the paper so you couldn't see the imperfections. I hope you like the results.
For this layout I used the kit Cherish Each Day by Veronica Spriggs of Studio Vivarant, and the word art for the title could not of been more perfect. Reagan is truly a little miracle and we are so blessed to have such a beautiful baby.

Hi I hope you are all doing well. I have a layout to share with you of my favorite girls!
This layout is of Jamie and Reagan on the day Reagan came home from the hospital after 113 days in the NICU. Words can't express the emotions I felt on that day. As you can see from the photos Jamie was very excited that her sister was coming home and she could finally hold her.
I did this layout for a template challenge at Scrappity-Doo-Dah

Hello -do you remember me?
I have been busy the past few months, we have been blessed with a new baby. Actually my family has been blessed with two new additions.
On March 9th my niece Kimberly and her husband Michael welcomed a bouncing baby boy, Matthew Michael. He is the first boy to be born in my family since my son Dominick 32 years ago. He is the new prince. Then very early in the morning on March 10th my beautiful granddaughter Reagan Melissa decided it was time for her to also meet the family. She was born at 1lb 2 oz and I am happy to say that after 113 days in the NICU and many sleepless nights our new princess is finally home with her Mom, Dad, and big sister Jamie.
You know that scrapbooking is my favorite hobby and I can't wait to create some layouts of the two of them and share them with you! I am slowly getting back in the swing of things and just finished this layout of Jamie with her Mom and Dad from last fall.
I used the kit Butterfly Kisses by Bekah E Designs it is available exclusively at Scrappity-Doo-Dah. The kit has beautiful textured papers, 50 elements and an alpha.
